About Me

Like many people with Celiac I have traveled a long road to finally be told that my problem was the I had Celiac.

I was 61 at the time. I have had osteoporosis for a long time (I have had a fractured hip like 15 yrs. ago)

Along with this, I have had gum lose and again, no one had any answers for it.

I was at the Pritikin Center in Florida and had a stress test and was told the I had an irregular heart beat.

I was told once I got back home to see a heart specialist. So, that I did. The Doctor that I saw said it liked like I might have a blockage. I was having the preliminary tests done for a stint when I was told that my hemoglobin was extremely low. I was admitted to the hospital immediately and was given 2 pints of blood. From there, I had a colonoscopy, and endoscopy. (The Dr. suggest the test for Celic after doing my colonoscopy.) So, after all these yrs. I had a answer as to why I was to tired, along with why I had severe osteoporosis, and I was loosing blood.

So, a yr. has now gone by and I am feeling much better. I can jog on the treadmill for 30 mins. without stopping!

Like many, I had never heard of Celic Disease until I told I had it.

Its website like this one, that has helped me the most.

  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. I live in a small town in Ky. We now have a new restaurant called Chedder's Causal Cafe. (I had not heard of it until now) Does anyone know whether or not they have any items on the menu that is gluten free? I am 62 and have only been diagnosed since April 07. Living in a small town makes eating out a real challenge and not a very pleasent one. I have...
  3. I am just wondering if anyone else with Celiac have what I can only refer to as something like the roof of my mouth has been burned. It feels like the tissue is constantly peeling off. Just wondering if this is from gluten that I could possibily still be getting from some unknown source. Just wondering if its from gluten?
  4. Welcome to the world without Gluten! I am new at this also. Just been diagnosted as of March 14 of this yr. (I am 61) I still feel over whaled at times. For me, the toughest thing so far is eating out. We live in a small town in Ky. and I have yet to met another Celiac person. This forum is wonderful. I can find out answers to almost all your questions...
  5. I have been told by the owner of Tim Horton's here in Ashland, Ky. that the yoguart with Berries is gluten free.
  6. Just wondering if any one knows for sure, whether the southwestern salad (with glazed chicken) is gluten free? I have been trying to find out myself without any luck?
  7. I have only been diagnosted with Celiac for about 2 months, so I am new to all of this. What is the best flour to use for baking? I go out every morning for coffee at Tim Horton's and since nothing there is gluten free, I need to take my own. I have tried Tom Sawyer's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
  8. I have only been diagnosted with Celiac for approximately 2 months. I did not know that you can have a gluten intolerance and not have Celiac. Interesting. I just thought that if you are intolerant to gluten that mean you have Celiac. I have a lot to learn.
